AND THE GATEFOLD POSTER SIGNED BY THE BAND
By refining the song-oriented breakthroughs of Sister and developing their fascination with noise and alternate tunings, Sonic Youth created a masterpiece of post-punk art rock with the double-album Daydream Nation.
Though the self-conscious sprawl of the album might appear self-indulgent on the surface, Daydream Nation is powered by a sustained vision, one that encapsulates all of the group's quirks and strengths.
Alternating between tense, hypnotic instrumental passages and furious noise explosions, the music demonstrates a range of emotions and textures, and in many ways, it's hard not to listen to the record as one long piece of shifting dynamics.
But the songs themselves are remarkable, from the anti-anthem of "Teen Age Riot" and the punky "Silver Rocket" to the hazy drug dreams of "Providence" and the rolling waves of "Eric's Trip." Daydream Nation demonstrates the extent to which noise and self-conscious avant art can be incorporated into rock, and the results are nothing short of stunning
Side 1: Teen Age Riot / Silver Rocket / The Sprawl
Side 2: 'Cross The Breeze / Eric's Trip / Total Trash
Side 3: Hey Joni / Providence / Candle / Rain King
Side 4: Kissability / Trilogy: The Wonder - Hyperstation - Eliminator Jr.
LABELS: MINT
All four labels are clean, unmarked and factory-fresh with no spindle traces - no signs that the records have ever been played
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
All four surfaces shine like new - there are a couple of light hairlines most likely caused by insertion of the records into the inners at the factory but these are purely cosmetic and have no audible consequence
VINYL Audio: MINT
Prior to my play-check at loud volume I don't think this copy has ever been played - flawless sound throughout
SLEEVE: MINT
Or as close to as you are likely to find - stunning example - as clean, sharp and fresh as the day it was made
INNER SLEEVES: MINT
Both of the original inner sleeves are printed on thick card and have a deep glossy finish - one is orange and one is red and they are both like-new and untouched
POSTER: EXCELLENT+
The gatefold insert has clearly been handled but probably only by the band as they were passing it around to be signed
POST & PACKING:
